WTMG's Leo Faria: "If anything, eFootball PES 2021 Season Update is very upfront and very honest. It offers almost nothing new when compared to last year’s PES 2020, besides some very minute (but still welcome) gameplay tweaks and some roster updates. However, it does feature a much more honest price tag as a means to compensate for that. After playing a greedy dud like NBA 2K21, I’m glad to see a publisher out there being straightforward and pricing its sports title accordingly. While I’m looking forward to seeing what Konami will do with PES next year, I’m glad PES 2021 will keep me busy until then."
"With FIFA's fanbase in open revolt, the continued irrelevance of PES and neither soccer title serving the single player particularly well, now would be the perfect time for 'This is Football' to return." - TechStomper
Neil writes: "When Konami delivered the eFootball PES 2021 update across all formats back in September 2020, many fans were left disappointed that there wasn't the usual annual update for their favourite football game. But credit where credit is due and those behind the game have continued to update the experience with multiple Data Packs and features. Today, just as players get ready for the upcoming UEFA EURO 2020 tournament, Data Pack 6.0 rolls out, alongside confirmation that Data Pack 7.0 will soon follow."
Neil writes: "Konami have gone all out with the introduction of many new team partners over the last few months, and today they are adding another to the group - and this time round we see Lazio and Paul Gascoigne arrive."
